To meet water resource requirements in the future, Essex & Suffolk Water implemented a scheme to increase the storage capacity at their existing reservoir at Abberton, from 26 to 41 billion liters of water. The scheme was designed to minimise impact on the environment and improve amenity and ecological habitats.

MWH Global is engineering the largest deployment of clean, renewable run-of-river hydroelectric generation in the U.S. MWH Global was selected by AMP in 2007 to serve as Owner’s Engineer for the design and construction management of four new hydroelectric projects at existing Federal dams on the Ohio River. MWH is concurrently providing resident engineering during the […]

The City selected MWH, now part of Stantec, to design the Water Recycling Demonstration Facility (WRDF), which will consist of a membrane bioreactor system, ozonation and UV disinfection. The WRDF was built in two phases with an ultimate treatment capacity of 100,000 gpd. Phase 1 of the project consisted of designing and building a 50,000 […]

MWH provided comprehensive engineering, design and services during construction for the award-winning Arrow Lakes Hydroelectric Project, a design-build project that included a 170 MW powerhouse in southern British Columbia, Canada. Located on the Columbia River, the project was constructed on the north side of the existing Hugh Keenleyside Dam, which was completed in 1969 without […]

Qatar’s Public Works Authority ‘Ashghal’ is investing heavily in national roads and drainage infrastructure ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup and towards achievement of the Qatar National Vision 2030. The Authority is governing the design, construction, and management of major infrastructure projects valued at over QR100 billion (£17.2 billion) to be delivered within the […]

MWH was responsible for planning, preliminary design, final design and services during construction, PLC programming, startup and commissioning and warranty support for the $160 million, 50 mgd raw water conveyance system as part of the Aurora Prairie Waters project. The conveyance system includes 34 miles of raw water conveyance piping with a diameter of 60 […]

Increasing raw water color from the reservoir catchments, associated with higher intensity rainfall events (believed to be linked with global warming), have put the existing clarification processes under increasing challenge. In order to future proof the works against this, a substantial enhancement project has been undertaken over the past three years (2009 to 2012). A […]

The Southern Water Brighton and Hove wastewater treatment works treats the 95 million litres of wastewater generated each day in the catchment area of Brighton and Hove to the required European standards. After treatment, the water is returned to the environment 2.5 kilometres off-shore.

The Camrosa Water Reclamation Facility (CWRF) provides recycled water for crop irrigation but was limited in the volume of water it could produce because the chlorine contact basins, which pre-dated the rest of the treatment facility, were not large enough to meet the default regulatory minimum contact times (CT). MWH, now part of Stantec, developed […]

Beginning in 2002, this project focused on the demonstration of the suitability of membrane filtration and ozonation in a tertiary wastewater treatment application for water disinfection. MWH completed the design in 2008. The initial demonstration phase treated 30 mgd of secondary effluent on an annual average basis, with expandability to 150 mgd ultimate capacity. The […]
